Dholavira

A four and a half hour drive from Bhuj, deep in the arid desolation of Kutch, lies an island in the salt pans. Here the ruins of a 5000 year old mega city from the times of the Indus Valley Civilization, known locally as Kotada timba, were discovered. Located on the Khadir bet island in the Great Rann of Kutch - Dholavira - is one of the five largest Harappan sites, the grandest city of its time and the most prominent site in India.
